In this new collection of literary essays, Karen Lloyd explores abundance and loss in the natural world relating compelling stories of restoration, renewal and rewilding and describing how the people working on the front lines of conservation are challenging the inevitability of biodiversity loss. In this era of urgent ecological challenge, Karen' s timely book reveals the places that people are coming together to bring species and habitats back from the edge of extinction. Yet, elsewhere, many other species are being allowed to disappear forever. To understand why this is, she examines how humans have chosen to entangle themselves in nature and considers the ways we perceive the natural world, contemplating why certain aspects of nature can hold our attention when we use others merely as temporary distractions. Touching on many current themes, Karen explores attitudes towards meaningful conservation as she weaves her delightful narrative through a diverse range of inspiring landscapes, from Romania' s Carpathian mountains and the Hungarian Steppe to the rivers of Perthshire, the dune forests of the Netherlands and the rice paddies of Extremadura in southern Spain.
Karen Lloyd is a writer of non-fiction and poetry. She has published two previous works of non-fiction, both published by Saraband. The Gathering Tide: A Journey Around the Edgelands of Morecambe Bay (2016) was selected by Katherine Norbury as her top read in the Observer Authors' Books of the Year. The Blackbird Diaries was published in 2017. Both won awards at The Lakeland Book of the Year Awards. Karen edited and published Curlew Calling, An Anthology of Nature Writing, Poetry and Images in Celebration of Curlew, to raise funds for various curlew conservation projects including the British Trust for Ornithology' s work. She is a contributor to the Guardian, BBC Wildlife and Countryfile magazines and the RGS amongst others.
